 An individual who feels supported and confident with work colleagues has a better return to work outcome.

Co-worker responsibilities include:
| • | Supporting employees on return to work programs, offering assistance, moral support, and ongoing communication. |
| • | Supporting each other to report problems early. |
| • | Assisting the supervisor by streamlining work flow. |
| • | Recognising that employees on return to work programs are often sensitive about their situation. Comments about a person's work program that may be intended to be humorous, are frequently taken to heart by the employee, causing upsets and jeopardising return to work. |
| • | Avoiding gossip about people on return to work programs. |
